"It can't be, it can't be. Is there really someone who doesn't know what a beating heart surgery is?"
"In ancient times, Guan Yu read Spring and Autumn at night. Today, Ling Ran's blade walks through Spring and Autumn."
"A non-stop heart surgery. Is it the kind of surgery where you give lectures for a year after performing one surgery?"
Many doctors in Yun Hua Hospital's group chat were playing around with each other, and they kept sending messages.
The group chat was not usually like this, but to be honest, no one in the operating theater usually performed surgeries where the heart would not stop beating.
The more Lu Wenbin looked at the phone, the more excited and envious he became.
"Why not me?" Lu Wenbin really wanted to ask out loud, so he asked out loud. In a small restaurant with only two people.
Zuo Cidian tore the pork trotter with his hands and ate it slowly. He comforted Ling Ran in a perfunctory manner. "There are so many surgeries in our group, and we can't just stop all of them, right? Besides, you're also a chief surgeon in a surgery right now. This is a small power that you've only obtained after working hard for two to three years. You can't just give up like this, right?"
"I'm giving Doctor Ling a surgery, and it won't affect me being the chief surgeon." Lu Wenbin was not convinced.
"As the chief surgeon, you have to be responsible. If you don't do the surgery with your name on it, do you have subordinates to do it for you? How do you explain to the patient that the surgery has been postponed? Or do you want Department Director Huo to help you explain? " Zuo Cidian said calmly, "You're the one who brought this upon yourself. You know, your surgery schedule is too full. You can't wait to be the chief surgeon for three surgeries a day. Do you know the result now?"
"I'm also the assistant for a few surgeries every day …"
"How dare you take up Doctor Ling's time? Besides, Doctor Ling's surgery today was brought forward. What about your surgery? If you had brought it forward last night, I would have been able to speak up for you, right? "
Lu Wenbin's eyes widened. "I was on duty the day before yesterday. I only slept for six hours last night."
Zuo Cidian tore a pork trotter. "Listen to what you're saying. You slept so much for six hours. Where did you get the time?"
Lu Wenbin looked at Zuo Cidian in a daze. He waved his hand in front of Zuo Cidian's eyes. "How many hours did you sleep yesterday?"
"I sleep for six hours because I'm old." Zuo Cidian sighed and said, "Ma Yanlin has a wife, and it's only natural for him to sleep for six hours. What about you? So, you have to allocate your time and energy well … "
"Give me back the trotters!" Lu Wenbin reached out to grab the plate unwillingly.
Zuo Cidian let him take it and said slowly, "It's impossible for Doctor Ling to only perform one surgery where the heart keeps beating …"
Lu Wenbin's body froze for a moment. His arm, which could lift a ten kilogram barbell, trembled a few times before he slowly brought the pork trotter to Zuo Cidian.
"Another one." Zuo Cidian smacked his lips. "I want the kind that's cooked in stew. It's a premium one. Dig a fat one from the bottom."
Lu Wenbin obeyed obediently.
After a while, a worker at the counter came over with chopped up pork trotters.
A sincere smile appeared on Zuo Cidian's face. He grabbed the hot pork trotter and took a bite. He was so passionate that it was as if he had been in an online relationship with a pork trotter for three years. He then said, "Young Lu, the direction you're going in right now is pretty good. Finger replantation is a little tiring, but if you continue doing M-Tang technique surgeries for another two years, with Doctor Ling leading the way, you'll be able to make a name for yourself later. Wouldn't it be nice to be promoted to associate chief physician when you're in your thirties?"
"I'm just an assistant. It's not like I won't perform M-Tang technique surgeries anymore." Lu Wenbin could not help but laugh.
"That's what you say now, but everyone knows that as long as you insist on being Doctor Ling's assistant, it'll be very easy for you to make a name for yourself. When that time comes, what will you choose? Cardiovascular Surgery or Orthopedics? "Zuo Cidian's tone showed that he could see through ten years of experience.
The starting point of the members of Ling Ran's team was too high. Based on the current results and resources of Ling Ran's team, they were already at the threshold when compared to academician teams, and they were much higher than ordinary Jie Qing teams. If Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center was included, then Lu Wenbin and the others would have a higher starting point than most of the academician's students.
With so many patients, so many equipment and instruments, so many hospital beds, and such strong support from the hospital and the team, all surgeons who reached the basic level would grow very quickly.
For doctors like Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin, they only needed to make a choice. They did not need to think too much about whether they could do it or not.
In the current hospital environment in the country, they were considered to be players among the young doctors who were willing to work hard. Regardless of whether they had a little talent or not, they might not be able to reach the ceiling of their talent within ten years.
Zuo Cidian was old and experienced. Even if he used to kneel on the ground, he could still guess the desire and struggle in Lu Wenbin's heart.
As he ate Lu Wenbin's pork trotter, Zuo Cidian said in a half-hearted manner, "The youngsters of your generation may talk about being realistic, but deep down, they're still idealistic. However, your idealism is based on the reality you're facing. If you were at my age and could work in the Orthopedics Department, who would still want to work in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department? What's the situation in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery now? They have to stand for a few hours at a time, and when there's an accident, they have to stand for half the night. They are afraid of bleeding during surgery, and after the surgery, they have to keep an eye on the drainage. They have to go to the uterus for the second time every now and then. They are busy for a month, and the surgery fees are not much. They only opened a box of warfarin tablets, and it costs ten RMB per box. Are you kidding me? "
Lu Wenbin smiled. "There are fifty-one boxes of imported warfarin tablets."
Zuo Cidian pursed his lips. "I don't want to talk about this. I'm just afraid that you will fall into a trap. Everyone says that the Emergency Department is dirty and tiring like migrant workers, and it's true. But don't we have Doctor Ling now? We have a way out. We can't just take off our construction uniform and wear a broken suit from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, right? The Department of Cardiovascular Surgery is a migrant worker who wears a suit. You can't even afford the dry cleaning fees, so why do you need a suit? "
"I don't lack money." Lu Wenbin could not win against Zuo Cidian in an argument, so he pointed at the pork trotter.
Zuo Cidian grabbed the pork trotter angrily and took a bite. "This is not a matter of money. What's so good about the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery?"
"His skills are good, and he's handsome," Lu Wenbin said directly, "Look at the movies and TV shows. The main characters are all in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. Why? The Department of Cardiovascular Surgery is the pearl of modern surgery. It's the crown! "
"What about the Department of Neurosurgery?"
Lu Wenbin shook his head. "First, it doesn't sound good. The Department of Neurosurgery sounds like it's fired by a lunatic organization, and the Department of Neurosurgery sounds like evil doctors. Second, if they can't cure the disease, they just stab the patient's head with a needle. If I'm lucky, I'm Invincible East. If I'm unlucky, the patient is Invincible East. It's boring. "
Zuo Cidian quickly looked behind him and said helplessly, "Those in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery heard me. Stuff your feet into your head."
"Those in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery don't have time to care about me. Let's not talk about other people. Their department directors often perform surgeries for ten hours. Sooner or later, they'll ask Doctor Ling for a hepatectomy."
"Do you think you're the main character?" Zuo Cidian said sarcastically.
Lu Wenbin snorted. "At least it sounds better than being an emergency doctor or an orthopedist. If I go on a blind date now, and I have a house and a car, people will ask me what I do, and I'll say I'm a doctor. Then, they'll ask me what kind of doctor I do. Oh, emergency department, oh, orthopedic department. That tone … If I go back and say that I do cardiovascular surgery, think about it, what kind of tone will the girls use? "
Zuo Cidian looked at Lu Wenbin as if he was looking at a scrawny pig trotter. "Is this the reason why you can't go on a blind date?"
"What else?" Lu Wenbin stood up and said, "Look at the media, doctors, and colleagues who came to watch the surgery. Yes, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery is poor and tired, but in terms of influence and fame, who can compare to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery?"
Zuo Cidian nodded. "So, your goal is to be Doctor Ling's assistant for cardiovascular surgery for a few years before you become the chief surgeon for cardiovascular surgery. Ten years later, you can be like Doctor Ling today and make big news. Then, you can go on a blind date and proudly tell the girl that you're a cardiovascular surgeon?"
Lu Wenbin thought about it. "Something like that."
"If that's the case, we've found the reason why you can't go on a blind date," Zuo Cidian solemnly concluded.
"Find the reason, target the medicine, and solve the problem!" Lu Wenbin clenched his fists. His muscles were tense, and his temples were throbbing.
